James Hall "The Blood" (Intro) - Instructional

I've noticed that I've never heard anyone actually do the full introduction to this song. God has blessed me with a great ear so I figured I'd share the gift with my youtube family. I hope this clip is clear enough to see and hear what I'm doing. If anyone learns it, record video and post it as a video response.

Man you are truly motivational man thank you. How did you get started and where did you learn to play?

@meltheman2008

The first 10 years of my playing was classical training. Then I started playing by ear when I got a church job. Both of my parents play. My dad plays the pipe organ and my mom plays the piano.

@mwaynehenderson32 Hey how long have you been minister of music at morning star I lived in shreveport in the early2000s I was the minister of music at praise temple bishop brandon

I have been playing for 30 yrs. but when I hear you play I feel like a child learning all over again! I am just thankful that you are so generous with you tremendous gift, skill, and technique. It makes life so much easier for those of us that were not blessed with the ear to discipher these complex chords and modes. I am humbled and I sit at the feet of you young man with great respect for your willing attitude to serve!

@jptwistedmusic .......Are you serious....?? (Calmly speaking)....In your words...."You do have a powerful ear".....but later...."There where a few notes that weren't quite right".....So in other words this man didn't just play the song correctly? Some of you guys that make comments need to take a step back and look into the mirror, and if you think he messed up a little, then why don't you show us how to do it right....but I must say that he played it technically correct.
